Across the Four Lands, peace has reigned for generations. But now, in the far north, an unknown enemy is massing. More troubling than the carnage is the strange and wondrous power wielded by the attackers—a breed of magic unfamiliar even to the Druid order. Fearing the worst, the High Druid dispatches a diplomatic party under the protection of the order’s sworn guardian, Dar Leah, to confront the mysterious, encroaching force and discover its purpose.

Some of Terry Brooks best work

The beginning of this new trilogy is as good as anything Terry Brooks has written.

Jane Carver is nobody's idea of a space princess. A hard-ridin', hard-lovin' biker chick and ex-Airborne Ranger, Jane is as surprised as anyone else when, on the run from the law, she ducks into the wrong cave at the wrong time - and wakes up butt-naked on an exotic alien planet light-years away from everything she's ever known. Waar is a savage world of four-armed tiger men, sky pirates, slaves, gladiators, and purple-skinned warriors in thrall to a bloodthirsty code of honor and chivalry.

Great Tribute to ERB!

If you could sum up Jane Carver of Waar [Soundtrack Edition] in three words, what would they be?

Very well done!

Any additional comments?

Excellent narration and soundtrack. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and thought if Edgar Rice Burroughs was writing today, (and was prone to using female protagonists in his stories), this would be his. Written from the perspective of a tough ass-kicking biker chick made for an entertaining point of view. The soundtrack added to the story and made it more engaging as well. great job!

Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany’s Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war’s final hours.
All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.

Excellent narration

Frank Mullet is an exceptional narrator. The story is very involving due, in large part, to his work.

As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship
Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.

Excellent entry

This is another excellent entry in the Joe Ledger/ Rot and Ruin world. Excellent narration by Ray Porter as usual.

New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry presents a quirky collection of five stories starring a whole cast of the ever-popular undead. Here you will find a semi-sequel to
Dead of Night in which four army reservists are assigned to hold a small rural bridge during the early days of the zombie apocalypse; a comedic story involving a couple of idiot moonshiners, a comet, gangsters, zombies, and the Great Chicago Fire; a downbeat psychological drama set in the bleak wastelands a few years after the zombie apocalypse; and more.

Damn good collection of diverse Zombie tales

Excellent, as always.

The stories are very very good. The narration is excellent. Jonathan Mayberry never disappoints me.

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Very original and very creepy. You can't help but like the characters, they are flawed and seem very real.

Have you listened to any of Kate Mulgrew’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

My First time listening to Kate. Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended!

The dead are coming back to life, filled with a single-minded urge to devour the living. While the power was on, some people followed the bigger picture on television; but the news media is little more than a chronicler of the disaster. Sadly, most people are better at becoming part of the problem than finding a way to solve it. "The most important question becomes: Are there enough resilient survivors left to stem the rising dead tide of humanity?"

Couln't get through it

The narration was very un-professional. Good attempt, but it sounded like something I would expect from a freebie from Libra-Vox.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story was pretty good, but I couldn't finish it due to the bad narration.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If anyone was wondering how this unusual book could be turned into a movie, now as you may know. It wasn't. The book is excellent when it's good and a bit dull when it's not. I couldn't think how the movie would be made from a series of interviews, as it turns out, it just used the title.
